Maximum length for Sound in Custom Notifications by ~*McoreD*~ on 10-21-2006 at 04:20 AM

Hey All,

I was wondering if it is possible to set MsgPlus to play the full length of the sound (song).

Is this possible?

Thanks,

No, this is not possible. The maximum allowed length is 100 seconds.

Be aware that playing a sound can have some influence on some things. Using a too long sound can have side effects to other sounds and events, hence the limit.

However, depending on what event you want to trigger that notification, you can make a script which will trigger on that event and play the full sound or repeating a sound or whatever using the Windows API....

Even a mobile phone can play a full song as a ring tone. Can we have this as a feature? I just need to play a song when an event occurs.

In other words, another option to Browse song, and simply play the song when the event occurs.

It depends what event you are talking about, but this may be able to be done with plus! scripting

Messenger Plus! isn't a mobile phone

I just replied on that, see previous post...

Okay, I understand playing a song can overlap event sounds if the same event occurs before the song is finished playing. A 100 second sound could still overlap if the event you set happens twice within 100 seconds. It can may be done via a script. However I still believe there should be an option to simply browse for a song and be able to play the song *without* needing to set the length in seconds. For example, when somebody comes online. The feature is already there in MsgPlus. We just need another program flow path that doesn't depend on the sound length checkBox.

Thanks guys.
